Product Description

Explaining death to a child can be confusing, both for you and for the child. This fable of water bugs transforming into dragon flies is an excellent way to help children to understand what happens after someone dies: that we don't know. An excellent way to begin discussions with children on death and what happens after we die.

This is a great little story to help children come to grips with the death of a loved one. Adults can benefit from it too, because the subject of death is hard to deal with and this story gives hope at the end.

My brother passed a few years ago and this book was a gift to my mother from an old friend. She shared it with the family, and from then on out a dragonfly has been what we have represented my brother with. My entire family loved this book and we have shared it with other unfortunate families who have had a loss in their family. It is not only a great book for children, but for people of all ages.

Personally, I love this book. It has such a great perspective on things that do not make it too overwhelming. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

I was a bit disappointed in the fact that this book was not more Christian based. I was looking more for a book that explained death to a child. I think the book did a good job helping to open the conversation on why things/people can not return once they have "crossed over". Overall it was okay, my four year old did like it, however it was not what I was expecting.
